We are listing our home for sale by owner today on Nov.11, 2012. It is such a hard thing for us to let go of, but my husband and I decided that it is the best thing for our future outlook. We absolutely just love this house and our neighbors. It has been like a dream living here. I am grateful we had this opportunity. I hope whomever buys our home will enjoy it just as much. It was built with so much love and it's energy is amazingly positive.

This charming craftsman style homes sits on large flat half acre lot in a very highly desired west side neighborhood in Bend. There are a lot of trees and it truly feels like you are living in the rustic woods of the Pacific NW. It definitely is not in a cookie cutter subdivision at all. The area has a lot of character and each home is unique. There are many young families with children. It is a great family neighborhood.

Looking out the backyard of the home.

The home itself was built with quality in 2006. As the original owners we watched our home come up every bit of the way. The house has 4 spacious bedrooms/office space with 2 full baths. There is also a 400 sq foot bonus room above the large 2 car garage and includes a workshop as well. It has a cement patio in the backyard and beautiful porch in the front. The total square footage combined is 2685 sq feet. The kitchen and bathroom have granite and tile countertops. There are also solid oak cabinets and solid hardwood floors. The home has very cozy practical floor plan with a lot of storage space. The closets and cabinets are large. We have maintained it well.

The home has 9 foot ceilings through out and a vaulted living room. The gas stove keeps winter evenings nice and toasty warm. It was built by SolAire and meets the standard of Green Living requirements for energy efficiency. There are NO HOA fees!!

A view of the street going West. Lots of tall trees and lots of space!!

The best part of living here of course is the awesome awesome location in Bend here on West Side. We walk to the River Trail and go to the Old Mill District and enjoy great restaurants on the river and shopping. We love mountain biking on Phil's Trail and riding all the way to Sunriver right next to Deshutes River! I also love riding my bike right into old historic downtown Bend to do my banking and grocery shopping. Bend is just great for riding bikes! There is immense fishing spots on the river and not to mention all of the Cascade Lakes 20 miles away right off Century Drive, our cross street. But, you may know that Bend is great ski resort town..and yes we live 20 minutes away from the world class Mt. Bachelor! And, it is so much fun!!!

Bend is a great town to raise a family. The city boasts many fun events that include lots of competitions for athletes of all sorts and then hosts lot's of great local music and art events. The city is very alive and active and just an all around great place to live if you love the great outdoors. Crime is extremely low here and we all call it "Paradise"! For those of you who live here..you will know!

We are asking $595,000 for the home and we are negotiable. Please call us at 541-205-1105 if you would like to come and see it! Thanks for reading!
